Daughter going away to college, so she needs a phone. I don't prefer the Vonage service we've been getting at home, so I thought I would just give her the device and she can take it with her and have instant phone access (as they already have cable internet). Bill would automatically continue to come here so I can pay it.

I don't want her to take our home phone number, though.

How do I port my main phone number that exists on Vonage back to SBC (it originally came from SBC) and then get a new number for the Vonage account that DD can use while at college?

I understand there could be porting issues. At this point, I just want to understand who I contact first and if the 2 phone companies are going to allow me to do this.

I thought this would be easier than cancelling and setting up a new account? Any advice or tips would be great.
